EDISON, N.J., Aug. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Orion Innovation (“Orion”), a leading digital transformation and product development services firm, has named Tony Scarfo as its new Telecommunications, Media, and Technology (TMT) vertical leader. In the newly created role, Scarfo will manage the overall strategic direction and lead Orion’s global go-to-market strategy for the TMT industry. He will report to Raj Patil, Orion’s CEO.

Orion works across the entire value chain of the TMT industry to transform front-end and back-end technologies, delivering faster time to market and enhanced customer experiences. With Tony’s leadership, Orion’s deep TMT domain expertise, and the company’s global delivery capacity across the Americas, Europe, and APAC, Orion is strongly positioned to help its TMT clients with their digital transformations.
